Background:

I got this root
beer from my friend Ray. I originally was not going to do a review on this but
since I did review Old
Dominion Ginger Ale I figured on reviewing this Root Beer also.

Review:

The root beer pours a clear dark brown, not very opaque with
amber hues and a diminishing fizzy white head.

The nose is very sweet with caramel root beer aromas.

Wow, What a disappointing first sip; this is very sweet with
caramel and cinnamon flavors mixed in with a little root beer.

The taste starts out very sweet up front followed by an
almost cleansing effervescence over the tongue in the middle of the sip. The
overall mouthfeel is not smooth and creamy like you would expect in a root
beer. This mouthfeel is light and somewhat refreshing with a lot of carbonation.
The finish is pleasant but a bit of let down. The root beer flavors are modest
at best followed by caramel and an odd cinnamon note.

All and all this is not a very good root beer. If you’re
looking for a good craft root beer try Old Dominion Root Beer.

D | Natural Brew Draft Root Beer was a major disappointment with
it’s over carbonation heavy cinnamon and caramel flavors that overtake any
natural root beer flavor. I cannot recommend this product. If you are looking
for a good Root Beer try Old Dominion from Dover DE.

Welcome

First of all I need to tell you that if you are looking or a real beer expert then you are still looking because it’s not me. I’m just a regular guy sharing his opinions and enthusiasm for craft beer.

The Belgian styles are my favorites but I do appreciate all styles of craft beer. That is, beers that took some craftsmanship and artistry to produce.

This blog is still a work in process so we’ll just have to see what happens with it. Please use the search function and labels below for ease of navigation.

Generally the reviews are written as I’m experiencing that beer. I try to capture character development etc. as the beer warms up. I also try to evaluate a beer based on its individual style.

I try to keep this all light and humorous. The only problem with that is, my English ain’t so good so it don’t come off liken I means it.

So welcome to my beer madness. We are here to share our growing knowledge and enthusiasm of craft beers. Keep it light, have fun and we will all learn a little more about this wonderful world of craft beer.
